Single-Stage Off-Pump Hybrid Repair of Kommerell's Diverticulum with Right-Sided Aortic Arch Using a Surgeon-Customized Vascular Prosthesis

Abstract

We report the successful single-stage hybrid management of Kommerell's diverticulum associated with a right-sided aortic arch in a 63-year-old woman. She underwent total aortic arch debranching utilizing a surgeon-customized vascular prosthesis, without cardiopulmonary bypass or deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, and concomitant zone-0 endovascular stent–graft deployment.
